Yes this is possible. I have connected my hard drive to wd router and is able to play the movies from my sony blu ray player and logitech revue. This is not certified dlna but it supports upnp which is the actual protocal behind DLNA. Please also remember that the files will play only if your tv/player supports the codecs

the WD TV Media player has a usb access on the side which you can connect your hard to or you can access media on your computer through the wifi network. I have windows seven and it is not user friendly, although I got it to work it takes a while to set and not worth the head ache. So I just transfer movies on to my portable hardrive then plug it into the WD player. hope that helps. Menu is very slow though but it works.

All streaming video that I have tried so far works great but I do not have a Netflix account so I can not answer from personal experience as it is entirely possible that they may have a "block" on the output. It works fine with Crackle, Hulu, DroidTv(PVR), YouTube, and iMediaShare.

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

LP thank you so much for your response. After your post I was able to insert the disk into the WII netflix had provided months ago and I was up and running.

Hey, New information!!!! Download the two zip files under BD570 from http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD570&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile unzip them and put the files from the two files on a usb drive formated for NTFS. You could try doing it with FAT32, mine was NTFS though. Plug it into the USB port on the player and it will ask you if you want to update. It added a channel in Netcast and fixed a common problem with Netflix.

I don't believe so - We access Netflix through an auxiliary device that is connected to the TV via an HMDI cable. I did not see any wifi capabilities when setting up the tv.

Hi Shelley,I sent you a post in another discussion. It seems the Netflix movies are giving me grief!! I'm trying to watch Michael Clayton, and my player says its incompatible. I'm having a tough time installing the firmware update as well... the machine can't seem to locate the dang file on my jump drive. Oh well, maybe the disc is bad.Cheers!

"your bd player's netflix keys have been hacked" and it said I could no longer play Netflix movies on my player. So I'm going to just post how I fixed it since the answers were spread out on this thread. I can't say each step is necessary, but it worked. I have the newest firmware.Got same problem. Upgrade firmware and found this solution online that worked for me:1. Deactivated the player at Netflix's website. Under "Your Account" ...2. Hard reset by pressing fast-forward on the player for five seconds with no disc.3. Attempt to play a Netflix movie (red "A" button on main screen).4. Perform the regular activation process for Netflix.5. Reenter Time Zone, Time, etc. settings in player.

I looked this up because I owned this player but it has been well over a year since I got rid of it. I dont recall being able to use Netflix from the device. A few forums talk about the same issue, however, tech support responds and says there is an option for it. Ultimately, I do remember being disappointed with this player. I would not recommend it.

Yes. Some of the HD on Netflix isn't available on computers though, because of lame licenses with the studios. So you'll get more HD content if you use a Roku or BluRay player for Netflix.
